Aloo Matar ki Sabzi

Grind the onion along with the ginger-garlic paste and tomatoes to a smooth paste. Keep aside. Heat oil and fry the potatoes till light brown. Drain and keep aside.

In the same oil fry the bay leaves, cinnamon, cardamoms, cloves and cumin seeds. After it stops spluttering, add the ground paste and saute till oil seperates from the sides of the pan.

Now add the coriander-cumin powder, turmeric powder, red chilli powder and garam masala powder and continue to saute for a few seconds till well mixed. Add 1 1/2 cups water, the fried potatoes, salt and the peas.

Cover and cook on low flame after the first boil till the potatoes are soft. Serve, garnished with coriander leaves.
